A new profile and the gist of the blog...

So, I really thought this blog was just a bi-product or a means to fulfill a commitment that I made to share my testimony for a year. (You can read more about that here.) However, that year has come and gone and this blog has become such a tool for me in my faith. You know how you want that first testimony to mean something? -To be useable? Well, I prayed that mine would be too.

When I started looking for more ways to have a testimony to share; it made me more serious about looking for God. Things started changing. My testimony started meaning something to me and my faith began to BURST!

It's like the scripture states in Psalm 119:130: The Unfolding of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple. I was already journaling and trying to read my bible more. I also started learning how to pray. When I wrote, it was a matter of blending all of those little pieces together on paper. The more I wrote and sought; the more satisfied I became with HIS answers alone. -But then the more that I also found myself questioning WHO I am or have been. 

Aside from being a wife, a mother, an employee, volunteer, church member, daughter, etc... What other labels do I use to define me? Sinner? Post abortive mother? ...A little bit goofy. -Sometimes condemning or legalistic but also creative and genuine and empathetic. 

What about my beliefs? How many of those are mine or did I just apply without question???

This might seem like a strange analogy but I think about a snake as I slough off all of my labels and shed that skin to find what it is that's underneath. I am okay with what others see because I know that there is something better inside. It is the heart of who God created me to be. The words that you see are just little droplets that spill over as I let God wash off everything else that was just attached.

In just as much as I want to know him and my truest self; I also hope that whatever it is that others see encourages someone else to go deeper themselves.

Thank you for stopping by and many, many blessings to you!

Love,
Reggie
